ArvinMeritor is a global manufacturer of automotive components and systems.
The company operates in more than 150 facilities in 27 countries with the
greatest concentration of sites in North America and Europe.

Coleman has worked at the Maxton facility since its start up in 1988. He
was the chief financial officer in 2000 before moving into the site manager
position with responsibility for the entire operation in 2004.

“ArvinMeritor is a strong supporter of educational initiatives,” Coleman
said. “Companies need to be a team with the education system and the
development of students for all three to remain competitive in today's global
business environment.”

ArvinMeritor partners with a number of colleges and universities to connect
students to our college co-op, intern and graduate opportunities, including
internship programs. In particular the company partners with universities
and colleges who celebrate diversity such as UNCP.

the support of corporate entities such as ArvinMeritor,” Chancellor
Meadors said.
